You are absolutely right Daniel. It's all about creativity. Thank you

B-Roll can oftentimes be the entirety of the editing process of a video, and many editors, particularly those new to the craft, don't anticipate this when they begin creating. This is especially true when editing a video whose primary content is talking head A-Roll; almost all of the editing will take place on Video Track #2/#3, which seems to surprise many people. It's a good idea to script your videos and make note of what kind of B-Roll you wish to include to augment your script. This is a regular practice in the professional industry, more-so than many expect.

Always a good idea. Thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks for the video Daniel. 👍

Great vid, thanks for sharing Daniel!! 👍 🙂

Thanks for the info D.B. 💯👌🤙

Thanks Daniel. I will start working with it. 👍

This whatever you do , keep creating is A lovely motivation lastly , thankyou 😊

Brilliant Daniel. Less than a minuet in and I was looking for B roll footage better than I had shot last week. A fellow YT channel had exactly what I needed. Thanks again for your wonderful and inspiring videos ☮✌✌✌✌☮☮

You're inspirational Daniel - thank you for conveying such a simple, yet worthwhile element of editing into videos. I'll certainly give this a go. Take care my friend, all the best to you and your family. 😄

Thank you so much Daniel ! Great video , Appreciate all your advice !

You are such a great teacher and I always find loads of value in your videos. Thank you.

Thanks Daniel, amazing video as usual and thanks for sharing story blocks. Can't wait to say congrats on your first million sub.

StoryBlocks has been my go-to resources since I started the channel. And b-roll is something I use tastefully in the way you explained in this video. Just recently I uploaded a video that had alot of engagement because of how b-roll was set just right to help people understand what I was talking about. Once thing I found is that if I use b-roll together with associated sounds it takes the b-roll a step forward. For example if it's b-roll of someone driving I add road noise in the background and it really drives home the feeling of driving. It's pretty awesome how it works. Great video Daniel!

Always a great learn. Cheers mate. 😊

Thanks for sharing your insight! 👍

Finding royalty/copyright free video is the hardest part. I’ll have to try this one out and see how it is, the limits you mention are annoying elsewhere.

Thanks! You've set my brain on fire a lil bit.

Daniel thanks for the idea because you I have better iddas for my videos especially on shorts videos I am doing a lot better I lots of view's on the shorts all thanks to you. I know have a lot to learn but with your help I will improve. Lastly I want to let you know that you are important to all of us that follow you and for the new followers that will come your way, once again thank so so much for bing there for all of us 😊

Hello Daniel. Just spent time at storyblocks and all i can say is WOW. !!

Hello great video information Daniel

Love me some b-roll. Agreeing with your take here.

Your are a rock star in everyway

Daniel, I deleted my earlier comment and just realized it also deleted your reply and my reply to that. Answering your question... I like to think I'm a creator. LOL. I'm a retired guy living in Southeast Asia armed with a GoPro, 360 degree camera, and mini 3 pro drone while surrounded by spectacular beauty and nature. Friends and family try to convince me to start a channel but I haven't yet. I got good at Filmora and now on steep but interesting learning curve with Resolve (thanks to you). I apologize if I didn't communicate my original comment well. Thanks again for your contribution to the community!

Good advice. I’ll check out the sponsor, too.

So been following you for... roughly 2 months... maybe nearly 3(don't know... guess Filmora defines some things)... so far... you have commented to me... it was surprising... but I have 1 question... maybe nuanced to myself... maybe others have wondered... You clearly seem to be someone of the 80s impact... Being my main life growth was in the 80s and 90s... have you thought of(or maybe have) telling your viewers your own history and how one may reflect... know I have glanced bits and bits at your channel and it has filled me with different views... you fixed a problem I had... Only wish right now I could member... You are such a friendly voice... damn... getting emotional right now... In a day or 2... I am hoping to finally do something I have dreamed of for 30 years... not in the same aspect back then... but it was a driving force... Fragmented yes... just feeling random things... Sadly my Yeti Blue Died... but I think the new one from HyperX might be better... Any thoughts about HyperX SoloCast? I feel it is doing what I want so far and more so than the YETI!!!!... Yeti had/has some issues with... I think the word is ducking... That it goes out of its way to Silent some things it felt was bad but it actually just muted what it shouldn't... Going on too much... Good thing as... I know you 'clicked with me'... thank you... I would love to understand your full history particularly because I am Detail Centric... Maybe you have vid of your history... Ground you in some way... Either way... Your voice should be heard more... know your content comes up more from my following of vids... curious where you might go either way XD Thanks for a voice that at first confused me... but totally makes sense... 'I Hear myself in my Head... so I don't know what I sound like outside that'-paraphrase... been glancing at my thoughts and feel now I understand those words...

i hope to be able to add B Roll to my vids soon, i am teaching myself how to use my software, inserting B Roll can be done, but its just taking me a bit of time to figure it all out. so for now, i will stick with standard edits, until i can figure things out for myself (sony movie studio platinum 13 - yeah its old but its what i got and i am figuring out some things, just very slowly!!! :D ) thank you for such an interesting video. wishing you an awesome week dude.

Your video title hooked me..."What's a B-Roll?" Watch video/lightbulb. Oh, I use that all the time. Now I know what it's called! I'm interested in how you organize and manage b-roll footage. Do you have a folder with just those clips you know you'll use time and again? I need some organizational help with this to find things quickly.

Daniel You are Awesome ⚡️⚡️

Awesome video!

Oh yes, B-Roll is my friend saved me from a few mishaps.

Thanks for the content Daniel. However, I think a key information is missing about storyblocks. What happens to your videos you published while you had subscription but let's say you canceled it a year later. Do older videos get copyright claims eventho you had subscription during that period of time ?

I use a lot of B-roll, mainly so my viewers don't have to look at me the entire video ;-) But mainly because I make video's about comic books, so I add a lot of material from the books I talk about, to support my story and show my viewers how cool these books are.

Thank you

I'm ready FPV. I love watch you fpv Pilots fly.

I found some great B-Roll in an asset house sounds naughty somehow. Cheers Daniel!

Daniel... do you have any videos that specifically cover "editing"? And I'm not talking about how to use the software, but the process you go through to decide what to film and why, and how you make decisions on where to put the clips on the timeline. at this point, I'm pretty well versed in Filmora (thanks to you 😊), Davinci, and even Premiere Pro. What I often struggle with, however, is the "creative" side of editing. Hopefully that makes sense. Anyway, as always, you're the best, my friend! 🫡

thank you

I have heard about plug-ins for DaVinci resolve. But I have never used any plug-in’s. Can you please make a video about where to get plug-in’s , how to install and use them. Also your recommendations on best and time saving plug-ins. Please.

Oh....you said B-Roll! Now I just feel silly.... I thought you said egg roll.....No wonder I'm getting so much fan mail from people working late at the office.

Anyone else think of the Eiffel Tower at night thing? (Architectural copyright law in France as it applies to photos)

Cool beans!

Awesome video, Daniel! Question... I downloaded a bunch of B-Roll stuff from Storyblocks and it's all recorded in 8 Bit. My Sony A7SIII is setup to film in 10 Bit 4:2:2. My latest music video I'm using about 4)5 B-Roll and 60% me... what should I render in 10 bit or 8 bit or should I match to an 8 bit setup in camera? Thanks, mate!

Love ur work. :)) Unfortunately Storyblock only have AE templates no Davinci library

Daniel i was testing video render 264 to 265 .My source is 264 .I was testing it and i dont like it at all .Its look like interlaced too me .Does that mean i should keep 264 =>264 ? And dont use 264 to 265 render ? Quality is worse .

dear daniel I have no idea If you will see this comment but if you do I would love to see you cover a topic on how AI can help new content creators for me personally its been a big help on my second channel

sry men u helped me a lot

new challenge make 3 videos a week over 8 mins long! DO IT, and compare to your normal stuff :)

Linus did an o.t.c. 10 pts for writers on how to make an engaging video. Check it out.

I use AI as b roll to avoid copyright

I really like your content but had to stop watching at 1 min.. I couldn't concentrate on what you are saying as there is MUZAK.. I tried... but I now have whistling tinnitus. I've unsubscribed from many channels because of this... also the use of other NLP techniques etc... It's the creator's choice...
